This is because of...

this, "rw SYSTEM", so nothing strange here.

No.

It will.

>>>ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused

There are few possibilities for this, either sshd is not running or the fir=
ewall
prevents the connection... or your user doesn't exist for sshd (see end of =
message).

>>>  SYSTEM     728       1   ?  00:48:33 /usr/bin/cygrunsrv
>>>  SYSTEM     480     728   ?  00:48:33 /usr/sbin/sshd

This looks fine.

Also this, but just to be sure run "netstat -abn" and see if it really is s=
shd
(the PID will not match because it is a Windows PID).

This is strange, but you don't need to edit it.  Look at /etc/passwd, user =
marcj
should have group 513 (or the same group as Administrator, I'm not sure if =
this
changes from Windows version).  BTW did you set your passwd and group files=
 as
per /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/login.README?
